| US allegations against Pakistan 'appalling', says Hussain Haroon |
| 2011-10-07 |
| [Dawn] Pakistain's permanent envoy to the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... , Abdullah Hussain Haroon, on Thursday criticised the US government for ignoring Pakistain's sacrifices in the war against terrorism and declared allegations against the country as 'appalling', DawnNews reported. During his interview to an American media outlet, Haroon credited Pakistain as a 'savior' which pulled the US out from the 'Vietnam war swamp' and vowed that his country would do the same in the ongoing war in Afghanistan. The envoy said Pakistain had put an all out effort in the long war in Afghanistan. He said Pakistain's role would be vital in restoring peace in Afghanistan as Pakistain's problems would not be resolved until there was stability in the neighbouring country. Haroon reminded that the US and Pakistain enjoyed friendly ties for over 60 years and that it was a Pak plane which took former US President Henry Kissinger to the negotiating table in Vietnam. "Pakistain brought US close to China and now China fully supports US views at international fora and is critical for America's economy," said Haroon. Haroon blamed former US President Ronald Reagan for 'conceiving' the Taiban and the Haqqani network in the White House. He blamed the Afghan leadership for Pakistain's weakened ties with US and Afghanistan. |

| #4 As per NEWS KERALA, RUSSIA is formally standing agz any US mil presence in Afghanistan after the UN Security mandate expires. * SAME > GERMAN OFFICIAL believes that Pakistan should had striven to become part of the new INDO-AFGHAN ALLIANCE, instead of criticizing it. * IIRC WAFF > {Memri = Taliban] TTP VIDEO SHOWS/DEPICTS UIGHUR JIHAD FIGHTERS FREELY SHOPPING FOR GUNS [ + other] IN PAKISTANI TOWN. No interference from local Pak Govt-Army-Police. Afghan or Paki, many locals remain convinced that the Taliban, etc. i.e. Radical Islam, will takeover once the US-NATO pullout is fully complete. |
